00:00 The controversy surrounding filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga's latest release, Animal, has intensified.
00:07 The movie has been creating ripples at the box office, but it is not all smooth sailing for the team behind Animal.
00:14 The film is facing criticism for its portrayal of controversial themes such as misogyny and the glorification of violence,
00:21 leading to a heated debate within the film industry.
00:25 Veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar, known for his vocal stance against certain cinematic trends,
00:31 expressed his concerns about the success of films that seem to endorse problematic behaviour.
00:36 Without directly naming Animal, Javed Akhtar said, and I quote,
00:41 "If there's a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe, or if a man says it's okay to slap a woman,
00:47 and the film is a super hit, that is dangerous."
00:51 In response, Sandeep Reddy Vanga echoed similar concerns and took a swipe at Javed's son Farhan Akhtar and his popular web series, Mirzapur.
01:01 Vanga said, "Why didn't he tell the same thing to Farhan Akhtar when he was producing Mirzapur?
01:07 When the show was translated into Telugu, if you watch that, then you will feel like puking.
01:12 Why is he not checking his son's work?"
01:15 The ongoing spat between Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Javed Akhtar underscores the complexities surrounding artistic expression,
01:22 societal responsibility and the blurred lines between entertainment and potential harm.
01:27 In another interview, Sandeep Reddy Vanga responded to a statement made by Kiran Rao,
01:33 who alleged that films like Bahubali 2 and Kabir Singh promote misogyny and endorse stalking.
01:39 Vanga's statement said that Rao should inquire from Aamir Khan about the song 'Khamb'.
01:44 He pointed out that if one recalls Dil, there was an almost attempted rape scene where the woman is made to feel culpable and yet they end up falling in love.
01:53 Kiran Rao responded by saying, "I have never commented on Mr. Sandeep's films because I have never seen them.
01:59 I have often spoken on misogyny and the representation of women on screen.
02:03 I have talked about it on various platforms at various times.
02:07 But I have never taken the name of any film because it is not about this specific film."
02:12 While Mr. Vanga has assumed that I was talking about his film, you will have to ask him.
02:17 I have never seen his film.
02:19 The ongoing debate raises crucial questions about the role of filmmakers, artists and the industry as a whole in shaping societal norms.
